Previously they had seen two four-gun, multiple-mounted .50 calibre Browning machine guns blow forth eight sulphur-colored blossoms, fling white-hot missiles at a similar aerial target to score 36 direct hits...

Rallying behind him, the Athletics took enough hits from Chicago Pitcher Charley Root...
...suffice to keep the Crimson from pushing over a last minute touchdown to win its sixth consecutive victory by 6 to 0 count. It was during this series of games that the West Point combination received its worst set-back, that in 1899 when Harvard piled up a total of 29 points to its opponent's 0.
